I Need More... No.2 Pencils [Back to School]

Who's ready to head back to school?  I'm going to guess that the majority of hands that shot up are from the mothers who are busy packing lunches into shiny new lunch boxes, settling into carpool routines, and delirious with excitement about the possibility of new-found moments of free time.  The collective groan must have come from the under-18 set.  Stop it.  What are you groaning about?

I loved the first day of school as a kid.  Remember how your clothes were new and starchy and way too warm for the summer heat that clearly didn't get the memo that autumn had arrived?  Remember seating charts that sat you right next to the cutest boy in school who - when he was in a good mood - asked you, yes, you to help him fill in the holes on his unfinished homework?  Remember the little notes of encouragement from your parents tucked into your book bag that made riding the school bus bearable?  Yeah.  Me, too.

Parents!  Don't miss the chance to make your little scholar's day!  Tuck a love note into a lunch, a book, or inside a sneaker.  Who knows... they might even forget to roll their eyes at you as you shout, "I love you, sweetheart!" in front of their friends.

Instructions:
I made my custom Back to School seals by printing the pdf document on full sheet label paper (available at any office supply retailer) and then cut to size.  (I started with a scalloped circle paper punch that was just shy of 2-inches, but decided that I liked the look of a square better.  It made the label look more like a miniature piece of binder paper.  You can see both in the photo above.)  Stick them on a teeny paper bag full of Smarties candies and enjoy!

I Need More... Subway Art [St Patrick's Day Print]





My friend, Michelle, turned me on to the fantastic blog Eighteen25 recently.  I love, love, love their Valentine Subway Art.  I downloaded, printed, and framed it (along with about a gazillion other folks).  I started decorating for St. Patrick's Day yesterday and decided that I needed a St. Paddy's version of the print.  So, I stretched my Adobe Illustrator legs and created this.  Out of curiosity, I hopped over to Eighteen25 and found their version.  (Impulsivity clearly got the better of me yet again.)  So, now you have two to choose from.  But you should probably download theirs considering it was their idea that gave me my inspiration in the first place.  Darn those cute, creative people!


I printed my 11x14-inch print at Costco for $2.99.  In case you're wondering.
